For several years prior to [[1342]],{{Ref/Book|Id=enc206|Enc22|Page=206}} a '''war''' between the [[Kig-Yar]] species and the [[Covenant]] took place in the [[Y'Deio system]].


==Background==
Smaller colonies are often governed by only a handful of keeps, which control the entirety of the world's resources.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Sangheili}}


==War==
==History==
One of the causes of the war was the Covenant sought access to a [[Forerunner]] facility buried in one of the Kig-Yar habitats.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc192|Enc22|Page=192}}
===Post-Great Purification===
[[File:HM-Ulgethon.png|thumb|left|200px|The Sangheili colony of Ulgethon was a major battlefield during the War of Beginnings.]]
After achieving space flight, the Sangheili began traveling from [[Sanghelios]] to colonize other worlds. [[Qikost]] and [[Suban]], the moons of Sanghelios, were among the first colonized, with the Sangheili setting up armories on Qikost{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBC1|Novel=Halo: Broken Circle|Chapter=1}} and mines on Suban.<ref>''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', p. 128</ref> Other worlds were soon colonized. The Sangheili spread to the stars searching for both resources that could be used to build and power spaceships, and planets which contained [[Forerunner]] relics to worship. By the time of the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]], there were a total of seventy-six Sangheili colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|HBC1}} It was on one such world, [[Ulgethon]], that the Sangheili first encountered the San'Shyuum.<ref>''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', [[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 5]]</ref>


The Covenant first arrived in the Y'Deio system with small contingent fleets. These fleets were attacked by Kig-Yar [[piracy|pirates]] and mercenaries beginning a naval campaign.{{Ref/Site|Id=waypointuniverse|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/kig-yar|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Kig-Yar|D=25|M=06|Y=2022}} These pirate fleets were the only defense the Kig-Yar had against the Covenant, though this fleet paled in comparison to the Covenant's.{{Ref/Book|Halo: The Essential Visual Guide|Page=100}}
===Covenant era===
Following the end of the war and the formation of the Covenant, Sangheili colonies became anchor points for the Covenant. While ''[[High Charity]]'' was the political center of the alliance, Sanghelios and its colonies became the place where warriors would be recruited for the [[Covenant military]]. After Sanghelios, the important worlds were Sangheili fortress worlds, examples of which include [[Joyous Exultation|Saepon'kal]] and [[Malurok]].{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Covenant}}


The Covenant would score numerous naval victories and demonstrated their naval superiority.{{Ref/Reuse|enc192}} However, Kig-Yar forces hid among the various asteroids in their system forcing the Covenant to ferret them out.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Cole Protocol|Chapter=22}} The Covenant would also attack various asteroid redoubts, decimating many from the bloodline of [[Chur'R-Yar]] in their defense.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Contact Harvest|Chapter=6}} Fighting would take place elsewhere in the system over Forerunner artifacts.{{Ref/Reuse|enc206}}
===Post-war===
Following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Sangheili, lacking a centralized government, were thrown into political turmoil, ultimately resulting in [[Blooding Years|civil war]]. While some colonies, like [[Hesduros]], would join the [[Covenant remnants]], most colonies like [[Duraan]], [[Khael'mothka]] and [[Rahnelo]] joined with Sanghelios under [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s new [[Swords of Sanghelios]], fighting off the other remnant groups and the [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Catalog|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969315_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969315|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Catalog Interaction - Page 14}} The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] found it difficult to track the true extent of the Sangheili colonial sphere and the military growth present in the dozens of active Sangheili colonial polities, particularly due to their differing political structures.<ref>''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]'' - Report 2</ref>


The militias of various sectarian societies in the asteroid belt of [[Chu'ot]] joined with pirate groups to help fight off the Covenant.{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=157}} By the end of the war, a unified front of raiders and mercenaries reached an agreement with the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|enc206}}
Just days after [[Treaty of 2552|a tentative peace treaty]] was formed between the [[Fleet of Retribution|group]] that would become the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the UEG, the Sangheili colony of [[Glyke]] was mysteriously destroyed, killing billions. Rumors had it that the colony's destruction was either an internal conflict or a [[Jiralhanae]] retaliation, but in truth it was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]] with a [[NOVA bomb]] as part of [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]], an effort to strike a blow at a major enemy world to try to cause the Covenant to reconsider. Having last heard that [[Earth]] was under attack, Gray Team were unaware of the war's end due to damaged deep-space communications equipment and thus that their mission was no longer necessary. When Gray Team resurfaced in [[2558]], [[Thel 'Vadam]] agreed to pardon the three Spartans for the action instead of trying them as [[war criminal]]s for genocide as part of a deal [[ONI]] offered to have Gray Team join an interspecies strike force operating in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Novel=Halo: Envoy}}


==Aftermath==
==Scale==
Around the time of the War of Beginnings, there were 76 colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|HBC1}} By the time of the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts]], there was a primary "complex" of Sangheili worlds.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Hunters in the Dark|Page=87 (Google Play edition)}}
